Here's a joke that many people probably didn't fully understand: Near the end of "The Cryonic Woman," Fry finds himself outside of Loew's Qaddafi's Mann's Grauman's Chinese Theater. This is a real place, an old-fashioned movie palace built by a guy called Grauman, which was originally known as Grauman's Chinese. But in the 1970s it was bought by a cinema chain owned by a guy called Mann, and he changed the name to Mann's Chinese. Some people protested this, saying it was like changing Carnegie Hall to Mann Hall. The place has since been bought by someone else. Assumedly it will in the future be bought by someone in the Qaddafi/Gaddafi family, and then by Loew's (a real-life cinema chain).

Originally posted by Zeep:in "Cryonic Woman," when leela and bender are talking about getting their jobs back, fry walks up and when bender starts to say "Fry can go shove a--" Leela whacks him over the head with a phone.

why a phone?

Closest thing handy? Sometimes the most obvious reason is the right one.

I'm not sure if this has been said, but i didn't understand why president truman in Roswell That Ends Well comes out of the plane in a crate marked canned eggs? Is there some meaning to this, or were they just being weird?

I really actually liked that joke. I always thought that it referred to Bender being an awful cook. Or maybe he just can't cook with turkey. Or maybe "fish a la king" is supposed to sound funny. You know something, I just realized that I don't understand that joke. It's still funny though.

In the commentary for 'I Dated A Robot', someone points out a dirty joke as Fry leaves the shop after getting his hands replaced. I don't get it. Is it the sign? What is it that's funny? Someone tell me!!!

I think I need a Kegelcizer. Eheheh ^^; Yeah, it took trhat joke for me to look up what 'kegel'ing is. I'd heard the term lots before and always just sort of nodded and went "Uhhh.. Yeah, I know that, uh huh".

Mabey someone mentioned this already but there's too many posts to go through here.

In the episode A pharo to remember when bender fry and leela are under benders statue. They are drinking somthing then fry spits it out and says "what proof is this? some big number?" what the hell is he talking about?

Originally posted by Alliteration:In 300 Big Boys, I understand the joke where Scruffy says "Shank or be Shanked", but why does Amy say "of course". Is this a joke, or is she just agreeing?

It seems like she's implying that she knows because she's been there before. Or maybe not. It would be funny to think that someone that rich would ever spend a lot of time in a 'shanking' prison, but I suppose you never know.

umm, what?

I took it as the Professor wasn't really paying attention to what Fry was saying. You know, how sometimes when you're a teen, your parents will only half-pretend to care about who you hang out with? The Professor wasn't paying attention, and thought Moose was a friend rather than an enemy.
